Hangover feeling after a wild party evening: In Zöbing, concerned friends and relatives alerted the emergency services in the early morning hours on Sunday. A 25-year-old had gone home himself, but apparently could not find his way home. The fire brigade also searched for the missing person by plane.
Drones have become an indispensable tool for police and firefighters, especially when searching for missing people. The current case also shows this. For while Florianis from Zöbing immediately began to comb the area, their comrades from Krems entered with the “flying eye”. The four-person team built the landing site for the drone on site – and immediately located several heat sources.
The Internet provided crucial information
At second glance, however, the ‘heat spots’ around the festival site were deer or beaver. But the “air support” team was not discouraged by this. Shortly after the disappearance, the wanted man contacted one of his friends via social media. Based on this information, the location was changed and the search continued around the Zöbinger water tower.
A short time later the infrared system started again. And this time it was actually a person wearing a white shirt – the person we were looking for! The coordinates were radioed to ground troops, who eventually found the missing 25-year-old safe and sound. He got lost in a vineyard.
